This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Those of you who have access to The New York Review of Science Fiction
should by all means check out the new issue. Michael Andre-Driussi (our
mantis) has the cover story, a perfectly fascinating essay on how, by
use of language, Jack Vance, Gene Wolfe and Damien Broderick (also ours;
hi Damien) evoke the fin du monde as the sun gutters out. It's
well-researched, is terrific on parallel and influence, and, as we could
only expect, lively as hell.
